How To Choose A Contractor
Choosing a contractor is extremely important in ensuring the successful outcome of a remodeling or home improvement project. Spending a little more time and paying attention to the process of choosing a contractor can help you avoid contracting mistakes. All BidABuilder.com contractors are background checked, licensed and insured, but it is still important for you to select someone that fits your personality as well. Read their profiles and take a look at their photo galleries of showcased work. Only BidABuilder.com offers so much information on each contractor!
A few questions to consider when weighing your options:

Insurance is an important factor to any business. A contractor should have at least the minimum policy limits for their given trade. Insurance is important in the protection of the company and contractor, as well as yourself. If the contractor is not insured you could be liable for any accidents that occur in your home. Make sure that does not happen! Never choose a contractor that is not insured. BidABuilder.com thoroughly verifies insurance upon registration for EACH and EVERY contractor. We take insurance seriously and would not allow a contractor into our network without it.
Ask for resources! A professional contractor should have no problem providing you with a list of customers. In fact, they should be happy to! The reference should be able to provide you with information to make your decision, such as:
> Was the job performed in a timely manner?
> Did the contractor respect the budget?
> Was the contractor respectful?
> Was the contractor neat and organized?
> Were they satisfied with the completion of the project?
> Were they unsatisfied with any aspects of the contractor or project results?
> Would they recommend the contractor’s services?
